What people mention
  • Convertible modePraisedOwners like being able to run it as a freezer or a refrigerator as their storage needs change.
  • NoisePraisedReviewers describe it as quiet enough to sit in a garage or utility room without bother.
  • Garage usePraisedBuyers report it holds temperature in cold garages where standard fridges struggle.
  • Single zoneCriticisedThe whole cabinet runs at one temperature, so it cannot act as a fridge and freezer at the same time.
  • Shelf layoutMixedGlass shelves are easy to clean, but the spacing leaves awkward gaps for tall items.

Questions and answers

Can it really work as both a freezer and a refrigerator?
Yes. It is a convertible model, so you set the temperature for freezer or refrigerator use. It runs one temperature at a time, not both at once.
Is it safe to put in an unheated garage?
Insignia lists it as garage ready and rated for garage installation. That means it is designed to keep working in cold ambient temperatures where a standard fridge might not.
Do I have to defrost it by hand?
No. It uses an automatic defrost system, so you do not scrape ice manually. Expect frozen food to dry out faster than in a manual-defrost freezer if it is not well wrapped.
How much electricity does it use?
The estimated annual use is 394 kWh, and it is ENERGY STAR certified. Actual use depends on the mode you run and how often the door is opened.
What are its dimensions?
It is 28 inches wide, 29 9/16 inches deep and 61 13/16 inches tall. Measure your doorway and garage clearance before ordering.
Is $479.99 a good price?
Best Buy listed it at $479.99 as of November 5, 2026, and three stores price it new. We have no earlier price history to compare, so check the current price against those other stores before buying.
